My WWE 2K18 Results: WWE SmackDown Live (June.W4.17)

WWE SmackDown Live

June.Week 4.2017

Cincinnatti, OH

TONIGHT ON SMACKDOWN LIVE: The Rock says that this Sunday he's going to war against Roman Reigns and regaining the WWE Championship. However, finally The Rock has come back to Cincinnati and he suggests that tonight Roman and him team up for the first time.

Aiden English and Jinder Mahal, two competitors in this Sunday's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, think that The Rock has a great idea. Either Reigns is going to retain this Sunday or The Rock is going to regain. One thing is for sure and that is that English or Mahal is going to walk out with that MITB briefcase this Sunday and they'd love the opportunity to soften up both potential champs!

KICKING OFF SMACKDOWN LIVE: A humbled AJ Styles makes his first appearance since losing his rematch against Aiden English. This setback has obviously left AJ off of the Money in the Bank match as well as the PPV altogether. However, he's been using this time to heal his body and mind and train harder than he's ever trained before.

According to Baron Corbin, AJ isn't competing at Money in the Bank because he's a loser. Corbin recounts how he made AJ's holiday season a nightmare during their rivalry and relishes his victory over Styles at the Royal Rumble. Corbin even eliminated AJ in the Royal Rumble Match! So “The Lone Wolf” is amused to see that “The Phenomenal One” is still the same loser.

MATCH #1

Normal Match

Baron Corbin vs AJ Styles

WINNER: AJ Styles

Method: Pinfall

Finish: Phenomenal Forearm

Rating: *** Very Good

THIS SUNDAY AT WWE MONEY IN THE BANK: Charlotte Flair, Tamina, Becky Lynch, Nikki and Brie Bella and Carmella will battle it out in the first ever women's Money in the Bank Ladder match for a contract for a SmackDown Women's Championship match. The winner can then cash in the contract at a time and place of their choosing anytime within the next year.

ALSO THIS SUNDAY AT WWE MONEY IN THE BANK: Naomi challenges Natalya for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

TONIGHT: After submitting the SmackDown Women's Champion in a non-title match two weeks ago on SmackDown Live, Charlotte Flair jumps the line tonight to challenge the champ! If Charlotte can defeat Natalya tonight then she'll win the SmackDown Women's Championship, a rematch clause as well as added insurance in the form of a Money in the Bank contract should she win on Sunday.

NOTE: Annoyed that Charlotte is receiving such preferential treatment, Naomi (the challenger for the SmackDown Women's Championship this Sunday at Money in the Bank) has opted not to be in Charlotte's corner tonight.

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Jason Jordan of American Alpha touts their 333-day reign and 10 successful title defenses as NXT Tag Team Champions, the longest and the most in NXT history as well as on SmackDown Live. Now, Jordan and Chad Gable are the #4 ranked tag team on SmackDown Live and they refuse to already be cast offs. So American Alpha challenge the #3ranked New Day to a match this Sunday at Money in the Bank.
